President Bush says his re-election proves Americans agree with his decision to invade Iraq, and that as a result, there's no need to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes made in planning for the war, or its aftermath
"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Mr. Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post for Sunday's editions. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."

I think the biggest thing W doesn't comprehend (or at least doesn't show it publicly) is that 49% of the votes
weren't for him and a chance to vote against homosexuals gave him a 1% win. Far from any perceived "mandate" for his foreign or domestic policies. I fully believe that if you take away the people who voted
solely on moral grounds the remainder wouldn't be enough to win a majority on Iraq.
